Is this game worth getting?

Yeah, see the main reason i disagree with you, is this:

the stealth missions arent hard enough.


All the missions in the campaign pose no stealth challenge.
All the extra missions pose no stealth challenge.
Boss missions involve grind after grind after grind. Cant beat em? Grind your weapons.

Its not variation, its repetition.

For all its missions i got more play throughs and game time out of all the other games in the series because i boosted the difficulty and the challenge. Considering Peace Walkers lacklustre story and insignificance in the overall arc (Its good but not a patch on 1-3), theres no incentive to play it again.

Until its sequel is announced and released because its clearly only the first part of one or more other 'missing links' Kojima's gonna force out of the series. Sorry im ranting...

Its fine, once through, until something else grabs my interest.

Wait are you guys talking about fallout 3? Or Peace Walker? Because am following the advice to get Fallout3 instead of getting the peace walker PSP bundle. Thanks for the responses though.

Jack, listen to me. We're all born with an expiration date. No one lasts forever. Life is nothing but a grace period - for turning our genetic material into the next generation. The data of life is transferred from parent to child. That's how it works. But we have no heirs, no legacy. Cloned from our father, with the ability to reproduce conveniently engineered out. What is our legacy if we cannot pass the torch? Proof of our existence - a mark of some sort. When the torch is passed on from parent to child... it extends beyond DNA; information is imparted as well. All I want is to be remembered. By other people, by history. - Soildus Snake

Weren't there stealth missions in the Extra Ops, though? I mean, you couldn't allow yourself to get caught, and you also couldn't even allow any enemies to get killed. I'm pretty sure they were called "Perfect Stealth". I think the hold up missions also qualify considering the fact that you have similar limitations, only that time you were required to hold people up, and even then only with a banana.

Speak for yourself, I had to work quite hard in regards to trying to get S-ranks in several of those missions, and namely got them out of luck.

I'd be able to tell you, if USPS didn't fuck up my package! X[

I ordered a copy of it, and it hasn't come in yet. 1 day over the estimated delivery, and it said it's been delivered on the USPS site.


The whole game sounds great, too.

I have to disagree. GT5 is the bomb.

So far, I'd say yes.

The controls are a bit awkward, but so far it seems good.

Why couldn't this game just be in PS3? They would make a lot more and I'm sure more fans would like it.

Hmm.

Not sure. Probably helps to advertise the PSP or something. They might be thinking if they're not backing Sony all the way, then they might not get too good of business.
Either that, or if they're gonna continue Big Boss's storyline, then they should give it to the PSP fans, since some people probably got one just for Portable Ops, like me. They also could have just wanted a second try at a sort of Portable Ops game, for those people who didn't like it to begin with. Maybe both.

Oh and to add to my comment before. I've only gone about 20 or 30 minutes into the game, and it's great so far. Shooting is so damn awkward though. You have to maneuver the gun when you're pointing over the shoulder, with either the shape buttons(square circle triangle and X) or using the other control style with the directional buttons.
It's definitely gonna take some getting used to. I heard in a review, that some parts may be extra difficult too, and my aim needs a lot of practice.

GT:
GT is secks. I love it. Best racing game I've ever played...probably...

PW:
BUY IT. It's incredible. The storyline is just awesome, the controls are easy enough to get used to, graphics are good for PSP, co-op is tons of fun with friends, just can't get enough laughter of the Monsters vs BB extra missions. Love fighting the dino's.

Anyway, it's a buy. Hands down.
